Thats good to know.  Last time I needed a front tire balanced, and the bike
shop AGAIN fckd it up, I took it to a local Goodyear shop, and they balanced
it FOR FREE !!  I think they were concerned that if they charged me, and it
somehow messed up, they would be liable.  I had done a lot of business there
before, and the manager recognized me, so he agreed to let his best guy give
it a shot.  The tire mechanic was intrigued by the bike and wheel, probably
another reason why they did it.

FYI, Jon.  When I had my tires replaced with the GTS Dragons, the mounting
and balancing was done at Rockville HD/Battley Cycle and it appears they did
it correctly, as there are no wobbles or anything that feels even slightly
out of kilter--the feel is just like the it was when shod with OEM shoes!
